Updating the deployed properties files for physical MDM
After you install or upgrade InfoSphere® MDM, you might need to update the deployed properties files if they require changes that cannot be made by using the Configuration Manager. Use this procedure to update deployed properties files.
About this task
Because the properties files are packaged in a .jar and
deployed as a business level application (BLA) shared library asset,
they cannot be changed by only altering a property value. When installed,
a duplicated properties.jar
file is extracted to
a deployment subdirectory of the BLA composition unit. This extraction
allows updates to be done in near real time without having to reinstall
the enterprise bundle application (EBA). For example, if the name
of the application deployment is E001
and the WebSphere® Application
Server installation
home directory is opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/,
then the location of deployed property files is in the installed asset
directory of the application profile. In this case, opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Node01/installedAssets/com.ibm.mdm.server.resources.properties-E001.jar/BASE
You can modify the content of the JAR file directly on the node. In a multinode or cluster topology, the changes must be manually replicated to all nodes and servers. The best way to update the properties is by using the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console (admin console), which handles the propagation for you.
